St George's Hospital in Christchurch New Zealand has signed a contract with Vitro Software to implement Vitro's Digital Medical Record, creating a digitalised medical records system to replace their current paper based processes.“St George’s Hospital requires a product that converts our current paper information into a digital form to facilitate and support efficient clinical decision making for our surgeon and nursing stakeholders, without introducing additional workflow obligations.”

Vitro Software has successfully implemented a digital medical record for the new Bendigo Hospital as the first stage in its journey to become a paperless hospital. The new Bendigo Hospital is a critical investment by the Victorian Government within the Loddon Mallee region and the city of Bendigo. Mr Peter Faulkner, Acting CEO Bendigo Health said “The hospital is a very technically-enabled environment and the Vitro Software platform has given the hospital the opportunity to commence its digital patient medical record journey.

We are delighted and proud to have signed a contract with the highly prestigious Nairobi Hospital in Kenya. The contract will provide a tailored EMR, to the soon-to-be 700 bed hospital, as CEO Mr. Gordon Odundo says “…it will offer tremendous value to our clinicians and enhance the quality of care to our patients.” The contract was signed today at a trade event officiated by Simon Coveney, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. In 2016 the hospital saw almost 185,000 patients and performed almost 10,000 operations and launched an extensive expansion plan. We look forward to working with the hospital, our partner Savannah Informatics and the team to bring this project to life and positively impact staff and patients.

Calvary, a Catholic non-profit operator of 15 public and private hospitals, 15 retirement and aged-care facilities and 22 community care centres, has been rolling out its Vitro digital records and patient chart system following a successful trial last year at its 60-bed Bethlehem hospital in Melbourne. Belinda Mcrae, the nurse unit manager on the St Teresa's ward at Bethlehem, says "We were the pilot of MedChart, the online medication chart It has made a huge difference for being able to read medication orders and keeping track of doses. The reduction in incidence of missed medication is amazing," she says. "From a workflow point of view, being able to access the same record at the same time [as other staff] is huge... I don't think we could go back." It only takes about 10 minutes to teach new staff to use the system, and Mcrae says the Vitro record, which can digitally replicate the look and feel of paper, makes it easier to track shifts and pick up issues, such as missed or overdue medications.
